la grande poste Bordeaux

Making a unique lounge furniture range for Bordeaux’s former Post Office

Bordeaux’s former Central Post Office now offers an alternative multidisciplinary space, made of a stage for musical performance and designer’s pop-up stores. All the furniture is available for sale. Hekla was given the task to exclusively design a lounge with armchairs and coffee tables.

Playing with two materials, Hekla created a comfortable yet sober range of armchairs. The boiled wool cushions are wrapped in a tinted wooden shell drawing its outline. The design of the coffee table is inspired by the armchair’s thin tubular frame, the true signature of the range.

These products are sold exclusively at Bordeaux’s Central Post Office.
